Ginger Pina Colada Sorbet

So remember that ginger syrup we made for the pomegranate + ginger no churn ice cream? Well, as a Kitchen Therapy rule, we aim to make recipes with minimal effort, minimal wastage and reasonable methods to making good food.

So here I am using up the leftovers of the ginger syrup we made HERE, because no point in letting that go! I’ve been having severe coconut cravings recently, and this was a unique answer for that. (Also, I am in dire need of a vacation, and this is as close as I can be to a beach right now!)

I’ve been quite intrigued by the concept of ‘Nice Cream’ – a new concept of being able to eat ice cream or rather, a frozen dessert, without the heavy ingredients, based usually on bananas. As is the norm for me, I decided to forgo the standard base, and do something a bit different to satisfy my cravings.

A bit of coconut water, shredded coconut, frozen pineapple cubes, lemon zest, and the ginger syrup, with the actual ginger pieces – juiced up in a smoothie maker and then placed into an airtight container to freeze up nicely for 6-7 hours… if you can wait that long! I also suggest a few spoons of coconut cream or milk if you like something a bit more creamier, but this is optional.

Also, if you’re feeling naughty, throw in some alcohol of your choice for a boozy dessert!

Scoop up and serve in a coconut bowl and an umbrella!

This is a cake inspired by a children's story book which had multiple mentions of a sticky tea cake with notes of ginger and cinnamon and it instantly brought a vision in my head! So I made up this recipe which now has become a monthly bake especially for the kids - made with whole wheat flour, brown sugar and honey, black tea, ginger, pumpkin spice, and lot's of orange zest and a sneaky slather of orange marmalade! optional is the dark chocolate chunks!
